Fodor's Review

This handsome restaurant comes alive the minute you walk through the rustic wooden door and into a softly lit dining room with long communal tables. The menu is smart and seasonal, with small plates, cheese and charcuterie, pastas, and pizza. Begin with a wild nettle pizza, heirloom lettuce and hemp-seed salad, or grilled squid with lentils and salsa verde. For the main course, there's the crispy duck leg confit and pan seared Niman Ranch rib eye. Typically crowded and noisy, the outdoor patio is a great spot to hang out. The late-night menu lures an enthusiastic post-pub crowd.
